1. I just had a boston kreme donut.
2. Most people don’t know where Kenduskeag is.
3. The third sentence on the 7th page of the book I’m reading: is not available to me right now. (I’m reading the Bible. I do it quite frequently. I start at the front, and read straight through. I’m in Hebrews currently. I hope to finish up this weekend. Page seven would be in Genesis. My guess is it would be something about the flood. Maybe I’ll check later and see how close I came!)
4. Susan tickles my fancy.
5. I was walking down a one way street, just a lookin’ for someone to meet, for a woman who was lookin’ for a man. (Used with permission of Huey Lewis.)

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to night one of a two night gig in Kennduskeag, tomorrow my plans include night two of a two night gig in Kennduskeag and Sunday, I want to be helpful to my wife, but I might be too tired!

1. Salsa and merengue are two styles of music you don’t hear very much up here in ME.
2. You can put A-1, and onions, and mayo, and lettuce, and bacon, and cheese on your burger– and you’ve even got mustard.
3. By the time I get home I’ll have less than two hours before I have to leave for my gig.
4. Finishing up is what I look forward to most when grocery shopping.

1. I was at a friends house yesterday looking at some old drum parts. (Some of the parts had me stumped. Well, almost.)
2. The nurse burst in and said “We need to see you in here, right away,” so I jumped up, and ran in, and I left my book right there in the waiting room.
3. Why am I not as affective a leader as I’d like to be?
4. A Dairy Queen Blizzard was in my thoughts today.
5. One of my father’s favorite sayings was “I’ll be down to get you in a taxi, honey, you better be ready by 1/2 past eight.”

1. Where are my summer clothes?
2. If wishes were horses I wouldn’t have any. (Horses are expensive and needy and–in my opinion–kinda stinky.)
3. I’d like to see my house sold!
4. When I was a teen, I thought up this great name for a high school paper column; it was called “Bill’s Psychedelic Etch-A-Sketch Lunchbox.” (I wrote that column for two years. It was “Bill’s” because it was mine; “Psychedelic” ’cause I liked the sound of it; “Etch-A-Sketch” because it was always changing; and “Lunchbox” because it was full of good things.)
5. One of my mother’s favorite sayings was “Good-bye, I love you, be good.” (Either that or “If you’re too sick to go to school, you’re too sick to do anything else.”)
6. I’d have a hard time doing without my before bed snack–even though I know I should give it up.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to making supper for my favorite girls, tomorrow my plans include the first lawn mows of the season, and Sunday, I want to take a nap after church and Sunday lunch!
